论法治型政府的构建

法治型政府成为十年政府改革的目标之后,亟待从理论上对法治政府的内涵、目标体系及实践路径加以解读。其中,法治、政府、法治国家、法治社会、依法行政、法治行政等范畴的厘清成为体认法治型政府内涵的理论前设。以此为基础,政府职能、权限、行为与主体的法治化共同支撑起法治型政府的目标体系。在目标指引之下,坚持价值整合与制度创新、主体自律与他律监督、内部自发与外部促动的结合路径,法治型政府的构建才具有达致的可能。     

Sentencing Male Sex Offenders Under the Age of 14: A Law Reform Advocacy Journey in Hong Kong

The common law presumption that a boy under the age of 14 is incapable of sexual intercourse has provoked controversial debates in Hong Kong. This article describes a 6-step advocacy journey to examine how community efforts have helped modify this law so that juvenile male sexual offenders under the age of 14 who have committed the crime of having sexual intercourse with underage females can be sentenced to receive appropriate treatment. Seven court cases provided by the magistrates’ courts in Hong Kong were used in this advocacy effort for the removal of the presumption in July 2012. Although this effort has yet to reveal signs of effectiveness, it represents greater public awareness about providing rehabilitation appropriate for juvenile sex offenders through a formal sentence. Restorative justice, as opposed to retributive or punitive justice, places an emphasis on rehabilitation of the offender and restoration of victims to a place of wholeness.     

枉法仲裁罪主体问题探析

枉法仲裁罪的主体只限于民商事仲裁和劳动仲裁中具体参加仲裁的仲裁员，不包括这些仲裁机构中的其他人员以及参加其他仲裁的仲裁员。该罪主体由于不具有国家工作人员身份，不存在与滥用职权罪或受贿罪发生主体竞合的问题。对该罪罪状应予修改，应取消“依法承担仲裁职责的人员”的规定。

“拆村并居”的风险解析

风险概念因其直接关涉风险分配、权力与权利关系而具有宪政内涵,从而被接纳为法学概念。法学风险概念在法律系统的运作依赖于法律程序的设计。从拆村并居问题的分析可以发现,传统法律风险决策与现代法律风险决策的差别在于后者更关注风险沟通与风险评估,此二者有助于重构当下国家与公民的互信关系。因此一个扩大化的分析是,有关风险语境下政策与行动的基本框架应建构在国家与公民二者关系的基础上,重视国家与公民关系对于处理风险议题具有重要作用。     

论“上命下从”与检察官的客观义务

“上命下从”是检察一体化的应有之义, 意味着上级检察机关对下级检察机关、检察长对检察官享有指令权, 能以命令的形式要求检察机关或检察官实施一定行为。而在客观义务面前, “法律的守护人”是检察官角色的集中体现, 客观公正应成为检察官的不懈追求。当“上命下从”遭遇检察官的客观义务之时, 应受到如下的限制:“上命下从”不仅应以检察官的客观义务为边界, 不能抹杀下级检察官的相对独立性, 而且还应该避免检察官行政人化。     

Experiences of Custody Evaluation: Perspectives of Young Adults Who Were the Subject of Family Court Proceedings as Children

ABSTRACT

Court-ordered custody evaluations are conducted primarily to assist courts in making decisions regarding the best interests of children in the context of parental disputes over custody and access. They also represent the most common means through which children's wishes in relation to custody and access are presented as evidence. This article reports on a qualitative research study of young adults' recollections of participating in custody evaluations ordered by the Family Court of Australia. In-depth interviews were conducted with 18 young adults, aged 18 to 26. Two major areas of inquiry are addressed in this article: (1) participants' recollections of interviews conducted by social workers and psychologists for the purpose of custody evaluation, and (2) their suggestions for ways in which professionals working with children in this context might make the process easier for children. Taken together, their experiences point to some useful principles for practice in this field.

A strong law of large number for negatively dependent and non identical distributed random variables in the framework of sublinear expectation

Abstract

In this article, in the framework of sublinear expectation initiated by Peng, we derive a strong law of large numbers (SLLN) for negatively dependent and non identical distributed random variables. This result includes and extends some existing results. Furthermore, we give two examples of our result for applications.     

Policymakers' Use of Social Science Research: Looking Within and Across Policy Actors

Evidence‐informed policy creates the conditions for families to perform the functions they provide for their members and society. To increase research utilization in policymaking, we must better understand policymakers and the professional and institutional cultures in which they operate. This exploratory cluster analysis examined within‐group differences in valuing, seeking, and use of social science research among 68 legislative staffers and 56 high‐ranking officials from 8 family‐serving executive agencies in Wisconsin. The findings are compared with a parallel study of 109 legislators from New York and Wisconsin. Among all 3 policy actors, a substantial proportion highly value research, actively seek it, and frequently use it in policy decisions; these Enthusiastic High Users of research are more attuned to political considerations compared to other clusters. Enthusiastic High Users in the legislative institution place a higher priority on innovative and action‐oriented research, whereas those in the agency institution prioritize the quality of research.
